Scout II DIM DIY How to - Install Dodge 5.9 Double Roller Timing Chain & Tensioner & setting advance

In this DIM DIY How To video we inspect and replace a Dodge 5.9 Magnum - 408 - Double Roller Chain plus we add a tensioner where there wasn't one and go over setting the timing on our new Cloyes HD kit.
Its time to install our new Mopar Performance double roller timing chain, sprockets, chain tensioner, timing cover, and water pump. This is a budget rebuild but our chain was toast (200k on it). We're adding the MP tensioner instead of OEM flat plate, we cover the 3 options for setting cam advance, and show the engine plugs you need to remember before installing the plate.

Good point on the leaking timing cover gasket, I am currently working on one with only 70000 miles on it, that gasket is leaking at the spots you pointed out and I know that the water pump has never been changed on this - I think it is just the design of the gasket, also the intake manifold bolts are a real bugger, I tried with kid gloves but 2 of them broke off on me

The design and the material (though that could be considered part of the design).. Not sure if its specs for or who was making the cover but they corrode and even without seem to leak.. I am always scared with some of the tiny bolts they use here and there.. I use a torque wrench and set it below then creep up on what it should be but still am worried.. perhaps the bolts like the cover just aren't up to what they are rated for.. Sometimes I just choke up on a short wrench to get it snugged down.. Also need to be careful using liquids / pastes on bolts as they can change the force used which then can make it snap sooner (anti-seize/locktite/etc).. they have charts for adapting torque readings if using them.
